Things you can't eat during menstruation

Female friends are very concerned about a reasonable diet during menstruation, because a correct diet during menstruation can not only make the body healthy but also reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea. Now we have entered summer. As the temperature continues to rise and the weather is getting hotter, various cold drinks have become indispensable summer foods for people. However, female friends who are menstruating should never eat too much ice cream or other cold drinks just to satisfy their appetite, because this can easily lead to too little menstrual blood in women during their menstrual period, and in severe cases may even cause dysmenorrhea.

Secondly, female friends who are menstruating should pay attention to eating less spicy food, such as malatang and spicy hot pot. Otherwise it will cause excessive menstrual bleeding. Women during menstruation should remember not to eat too greasy food and fried food, such as fried chicken legs, French fries, etc., because the digestive function of women during this period is weaker. Eating a large amount of greasy food aggravates the accumulation of food and increases the burden on the digestive organs.

Some white-collar female friends have the habit of staying up late to work, so they develop the habit of drinking coffee or strong tea. Here we should remind female friends who are menstruating that since coffee and strong tea contain a large amount of irritant substance - caffeine, it will have a great stimulating effect on the nervous system, leading to excessive menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and even prolonged menstruation. It's really not worth it, so it is recommended that female friends during menstruation try to drink only warm boiled water, and also avoid staying up late and get enough sleep.

In addition, since a large amount of menstrual blood will be lost during menstruation, the human body will also lose a large amount of iron as the menstrual blood is lost. Therefore, whether from the perspective of helping digestion or from the perspective of replenishing the iron content in the human blood, female friends during menstruation should eat more fresh vegetables, especially vegetables rich in iron, such as spinach. In addition, they should also eat more edible fungi rich in iron, such as mushrooms and fungus.
